Summary: Faramir's thoughts before leaving Gondor to try and retake Osgilliath. (Baring in mind poems don't have to rhyme or have a rhythm)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is it that he wants?
What is left for me to do?
How much must I give?
How much does he want?

He treats me like I'm nothing,
He treats me like I'm dirt,
As if I'm not worthy of him,
Not worthy of my name,

My heart rests in this kingdom,
My heart lies in this land,
I will prove myself worthy,
I will prove myself to him,

If it takes my life,
If it takes all years,
He will see my worth,
He will see my valour,

My brother is gone,
I found him myself,
The captain of the guard is dead,
But we shall fight on,

I will not let us fall,
I will not let us die,
I have lost my fathers love,
I have lost my fathers trust,

He will see me for myself,
He will see me as I am,
If I return at all,
He should think better of me,

I go now to my death,
I go now to my doom,
The time has come a last,
For Faramir to prove his worth,

I have lost my fathers love,
I have lost my fathers trust,
But I will save Gondor's land,
I will save my memories,

My brother fell to an end unknown,
He fought to defend our lands,
He cannot take my memories,
The time has come.
